A 9,600-character brief gets Opus 5.5 to make a music video overnight
Someone gave Opus 5.5 a nearly 10,000-character creative brief, went to sleep, and woke up to a music video that Elon Musk reposted; the author says the gap is in the prompt, not the model.
ELON SAYS HE "FELT THE AGI" WATCHING THIS. IT CAME FROM ONE PROMPT AND A GUY WHO WENT TO SLEEP heres the chain sept 23, one guy talked to his computer for 5 minutes. opus 5.5 worked for 12 hours and made the music video attached below. 3.5M views then he posted the entire prompt sept 25, @anabology fed that same prompt to opus 5.5 with midjourney and a moodboard, went to bed, woke up to the video elon just reposted. 17.5M views the part everyone is missing: that prompt isnt a prompt. its a brief. ~9,600 characters it hands claude the song, a folder of his past work, a library of references, API keys, and then says "think and feel very deeply" about how to show the lyrics no step by step. no "you are an expert video editor". just context, tools, taste, and permission the scariest part is that this is now a skill gap, not a model gap. same model, same week, most people still get slop personally, i went back and looked at my own prompts after reading his. most of them were 3 lines. thats the problem, not the model original video and prompt by @donaldjewkes, full prompt in the reply
